Like the Cubic Megaminx can be built by truncating a megaminx the bowtie skewb can be built by truncating an ultimate skewb. The name for this transformation was given to it by the second builder (the reinventor) since the original inventor did not give it a name. Extending the remaining original faces would result in a puzzle identical to the skewb.
